Street Talk About Gas.

''Do you know" said Albert Gall, "that the
discovery of natural gas in the neighborhood of
this city will bring about a sort of military rule
here?,
No; howl" inquired the sad-eyed reporter
General ProsperItY-dont you see!"
Fifty four years ago." said Capt j. H. Ogles.
by, II was ok-keeper at business house in
Madison. That was in the days when Kanawha
salt sold at 25 cents bushel by the barrel
One day Mr.. Converse, the man from whom we
bought salt up the Kanawna, came down to
Madison. We got to talking about fuel, and
then he told his wondering listeners that his fuel
actually cost him nothing but was gas that came
up out of the ground. It's a very strange thing
that it took bright and enterprising people so
long to adopt so cheap fuel to other and more
profitable uses than salt-boiling."
At the corner of Market and PENNSYLVANIA
streets, yesterday, City Librarian Hooper de-
livered an interesting dissertation on natural
gas. Mr.. Hooper. who is strongly fortified
geologicaily. holds that the bore should not stop
found there, the bore should continue and go
through that rock with greater probability of
fndins; the sought-for gas below the Trenton.

On Wednesday of last week band OF
armed and masked men broke open the jail
at Frederick, Md, and dragged out and hang
ed John Ii. Bigus, a prisoner charged with
a brutal assault upon Mrs. Mary Yeakle, a
highly respected widow living in Frederick.
Mrs. Yeakle had positively identified Bigus
as her assalant.
A coroner's jury condemned the act as
murder but failed to indicate who composed
the mob. The affair created much excite
ment, which was increased last Monday
night, by the receipt of news, in Frederick,
that colored men from various points were
on their way to the city, some of whom
had avowed their determination to attack the
Jail and hang Sheriff DER, who they thought
might have prevented the lynching of Bigus.
The news created intense excitement. Crowds
OF men armed themselves with revolyers and
guns and proceeded to the Jail, which was
converted into fort.
Bands of armed men patroled the streets
and roads leading into the city and an unfor-
tunate colored man who made his appear
ance on horseback was fired at and hastily re-
treated. No attack was made and the next
day things began to resume their wonted
quiet

Church Fair at Aberoeen.
= The Kgis and MteRigencer.

For The fgtS and InteHtgeHcer:
The fair held by the ladies of the Grove Church.
commencing on the 22d and closing on the sSth
Of November, was q notable event in Aberdeen
society. 1t is pronounced by the common YER
dict to have been one OF the most pleasant Of lis
kind. From its inception to its contamination
the ladies seemed resolutey bent on making 1t
one of exceptional interest and success. Wo-
manly tact and talent found ample scope in pro-
vding qualification for every taste and fancy
To speak of the ornamentations- and decorations
of the room of the rare and costly articles dis
played to view, of the supper table, with Its del
icacies and rich viands, its tempting bvalves &C.,
would take up too much of your space. TO the
lie responded most generously and Literally,
making 1t as well financial success.
The ladies who presided at the different tables
made themselves strikin9ly noticeable and at
tractve by adopting very unique and pictur-
esque costume. 1t was In all its completeness
and simplicity a reproduction of the Martha
Washington toilet Notwithstanding the ladies
VT re animated by generous rivalry in tempting
and alluring purchasers to their several tables
yet the lovely unanmity, harmony and concord
pervaded the working OF the whole machinery
1t might have been aptly compared to a grand
symphony, in which not one harsh or dscordant
note could be detected. The closing scene was
the presentation Of a mammoth cake, upon
which the confectioner had exhausted all the
cunning and mystery of his art, to Rev. Mr. jam
ison, pastor the church. The Ritt was prompted
by the warmest sentiments of Christian regard
have contributed so much to the prosperity
peace and harmony which the church now en-.
joys. The curtain falls. OHReS ereunt.
